Two days left....thank you so much!

Bibi, Babu, and Shangazi all left today. Many thanks to those who helped make it possible for them to come. Their presence was not only a calming presence in court, but a huge encouragement to us and a bright spot in a bleak time. And the kids were blissfully oblivious that their future is up in the air, so they really had a blast! The kids really miss them already, and so do we.

We've heard whispers of possibilities, but it is one of those things that we just won't know we have a letter until we know. But we got a lot of positive feedback today.

If you didn't have time to send a fax today, would you please consider sending one tomorrow?
Otherwise, if you can do the same stuff we did today PLUS reach out to any friends that you have in local media, that would be huge. So, the short list is below. Asante sana, sana.

1. Fax the White House. 202-456-2461. I know it seems like an intimidating task to some, but give it a try. You might have to dial "9" first when calling outside the office :-)
   
   
2. Email First Lady Laura Bush. first.lady@whitehouse.gov.
   
   
3. Put posts on MySpace and/or Facebook for the Bush, Obama, Clinton, or McCain groups
   
   
4. If you have any connections with local US media that might be interested in the story, please feel free to use them. Even if this doesn't result in receiving the letter, maybe it will help encourage other adoptive couples that we don't need to be afraid to relentlessly love our children.
   
   
5. Please pray that we can find Sundi's hearing aid. She lost it at a children's function and we fear another kid may have reclaimed it as a toy. This actually happened last week, so she's struggling with her old ones right now but we pray that miraculously they show up.
